How do I contact the shelter about PAOLO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Adottami col Cuore handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PAOLO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt PAOLO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Adottami col Cuore will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is PAOLO already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if PAOLO isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Adottami col Cuore early rather than rehoming privately; they know PAOLO and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (IT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

PAOLO

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Hello! I'm Paolo and I've lived for years in a shelter in southern Italy. My back legs are a bit crooked but I walk and run normally and I'm sure you'll fall in love with me anyway... maybe because of this "disability" no one has ever wanted me. The years pass for me too... and I dream of once in my life living in a house, I've never had one. I need a house with a garden to get used to after so many years and a path with a trainer since I'm shy and rather distrustful of humans. I need a kind and patient mom or dad who accepts me for what I am: a dog who has spent his whole life in a shelter... Paolo is available vaccinated, spayed and tested for leishmania and ehrlichia. He is in Puglia but for a beautiful adoption we will take him anywhere in northern Italy. We ask for seriousness, no time wasters, only adults, adoption through a questionnaire and pre-adoption visit. If we don't answer immediately, a presentation via WhatsApp or email is appreciated, we will call you back.

Ciao! Io sono Paolo e vivo da anni in un canile del sud Italia. Le mie zampine posteriori sono un poco storte ma cammino e corro normalmente e sono sicuro che ti innamorerai ugualmente di me… forse per questo mio “handicap” non mi ha mai voluto nessuno. Gli anni passano anche per me… e SOGNO per una volta nella mia vita, di vivere in una casa, non ne ho mai avuta una. Avrei bisogno di una casa con giardino per potermi abituare dopo tanti anni e un percorso con un educatore in quanto sono timido e piuttosto diffidente con gli umani. Ho bisogno di una mamma o di un papà dolci e pazienti che mi accettino per ciò che sono: un cane che ha vissuto tutta la sua vita in canile … Paolo si affida vaccinato, sterilizzato e testato leishmania ed erlichia. Lui si trova in Puglia ma per una bella adozione lo porteremo ovunque nel Nord Italia. Chiediamo serietà, no perditempo, solo maggiorenni, adozione tramite questionario e visita preaffido. Se non rispondiamo subito è gradita presentazione via WhatsApp o mail, vi richiameremo. Per info e altre foto e video: ADOTTAMI COL CUORE – ODV 3496325688, 3496403337

About PAOLO

What life with PAOLO looks like

PAOLO is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Adottami col Cuore in Andria (BAT).

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.
